Job Description
Are you ready to inspire and guide young minds in a fun and enriching summer camp experience? The YMCA of Rapid City is seeking passionate and responsible individuals (18+) to join our team as Camp Counselors! This exciting role offers the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of children, while also helping to strengthen the community and promote the values of the YMCA. As a Camp Counselor, you will play a key role in providing a high-quality, safe, and developmentally appropriate camp program that fosters soft skills like teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and creativity, alongside character and academic enrichment.
Working under the guidance of the Youth Development Associate Director, you will be responsible for delivering an age-appropriate curriculum that encourages personal growth in social and physical skills, while ensuring each child in your care is safe, supported, and engaged. You will lead a variety of activities, from outdoor games and arts and crafts to team-building exercises and academic enrichment programs. Your goal will always be to create an environment where campers feel valued, confident, and motivated to develop new skills and friendships.
At the YMCA, we are committed to living our mission and core values: we are welcoming, genuine, hopeful, nurturing, and determined. These values define our culture and guide everything we do. As a Camp Counselor, you will help bring these values to life, supporting the development of youth while fostering a positive, inclusive environment. Your role will be instrumental in creating a camp experience that not only focuses on fun but also supports each camper's personal growth and development.
Your responsibilities will include implementing a safe and engaging curriculum, ensuring the well-being of each camper, maintaining equipment and supplies, complying with safety policies and local codes, and developing positive relationships with parents and fellow staff. You will also maintain accurate records, including lesson plans, attendance, and incident reports, while participating in regular meetings to communicate important updates and strategies with the team.
Ideal candidates will have strong communication skills, a passion for working with youth, and a commitment to providing a safe, supportive, and fun camp experience. Previous experience in childcare, leadership, or education is helpful but not required-what's most important is a positive attitude, a dedication to making a difference, and a willingness to grow as part of the YMCA team.
The YMCA of Rapid City offers a supportive and rewarding environment where you can build leadership skills, develop professionally, and contribute to the strength of our community. Whether you are looking to gain experience in youth development or simply want to have a positive impact on children's lives, being a Camp Counselor at the YMCA will provide you with both personal and professional growth opportunities.
If you are enthusiastic, passionate, and ready to contribute to a transformative summer experience, we encourage you to apply now to be a Camp Counselor at the YMCA of Rapid City. Join us in our mission to build a stronger community, one child at a time!
